Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested a Palestinian who had allegedly planned to carry out an attack in Itamar settlement illegally built east of Nablus in the northern West Bank Israeli media sources claimed.
0404 Hebrew website said that the unidentified man was wearing military uniform and holding military tools when he was arrested while attempting to infiltrate into the settlement.
A second suspect managed to flee the scene the sources added.
After the incident Israel’s military set up roadblocks and deployed reinforcements to the area searching for the other suspect.
In recent days tension has mounted across the occupied Palestinian territories following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision last week to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
